Coffee truck is down here  again.

Just waiting for the players.

Watching the storm go through their paces, they're switched on!

Light duties include: Lever, Spargo, Viney and BBB.

Yesterday's players aren't on the track, Bedford is training as is Rosman, but not Chandler.

They are mainly in runners, and after some jogging around the hats they played a soccer game.

Moniz-wakefield and Tmac in rehab doing plenty of kicking. 

There is no strapping on Kossie knee.

    You're an absolute champion Kev, thanks for all your work - already excited to read this.

    Would love to know what part of the ground Bowey trains in today if we do any match sim or group training.

    Short and sweet again. Plenty of banter and fun.

    There were some executive types who had an introduction to the group before they begun.

    The group appeared relaxed and happy.

    This thread has become a great start to the week! No strapping on Kozzie's knee a massive plus!

    At the moment,

    Mon 11.30 am and  a captains run at 9.30 am the day before game, both at Gosch's. 

    Then a full training midweek down at Casey.

    Copped a couple of heavy knocks on Sunday.

    None of the players from the Sunday VFL game were at training.

    I noticed that after I read more posts but you did specify that Bowey wasn't there so I replied to it.

    Thanks Kev.  My understanding is they're flying up there Thirsday yes?  That would mean a full training run at Casey tomorrow?

    That would be my guess as well.

    If it was today then those from the VFL side couldn't go hard.

    Next week, it could be anyone's guess given the bye, as to which days. Though assume the Monday run will be on.

    Could also be a practice game on the following weekend. 

    Hoping the club keeps us informed.

    @kev martin how is the coffee truck performing?  Hit the spot?

    Looked like it did, but not for me (I don't like something for nothing), nor did I get an invite.

    Fridays was for supporters who sponsor the players. They also had a food truck and were served bagels/rolls with filling.

    Mondays was for the executives, possibly from the New Balance company, the players and staff.

    Do you like your kicks for free?

    You know what I mean.

    Free kicks are good if they are deserved, frustrating if inconsistent.

    Worst are the soft ones when given near goal, for both teams. They can ruin the game.

    We trained at Casey yesterday going by photos on the club site. Main session I'm guessing and we usually hear from a Goody presser, but nothing. Will we have our Captain's run at the Gabba tomorrow after we fly out or before at Gosch's?

    Sorry Kev, I was making a silly joke - a play on words from that stupid dire straits song combiing your comment you don't like something for nothing  and radomly working in free kicks

    As in 'money for nothing and your kicks for free'

    Safe to say, quite a stretch.

    But I agree with you about free kicks btw.

    Given the context was about the coffee cart, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't include expresso love in your post somewhere.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
